West Ham United and Everton are reportedly interested in bringing Shinji Kagawa back to the Premier League this summer.
According to claims from German news outlet Ruhr Nachrichten, the Hammers have expressed an interest in moving for the former Manchester United midfielder.
Kagawa spent the second half of last season on loan in Turkey, turning out for Besiktas. However, after struggling to shine consistently, it seems his days at Borussia Dortmund are numbered, and a summer departure could be on the cards.
West Ham may be on the lookout for added creative quality ahead of Manuel Pellegrini’s second season at the club after Manuel Lanzini and Samir Nasri struggled with injuries and inconsistency respectively in 2018/19.
The Hammers face a crucial summer transfer window as they bid to propel themselves into the top seven, with the club undoubtedly eyeing a return to European football for the 2020/21 campaign.
Kagawa, who has 95 caps for his native Japan, could be among West Ham’s targets as they look to climb the table.
